Rehoboth Community Health Appointments

The Board of Selectmen approved the hiring of Melissa Shea to serve as Outreach and Human Services Coordinator.

Richard Charbonneau was appointed to serve as Director of Food Services at the Council on Aging, which is now located at Francis Farm.

“We’ve got some great ideas that we can’t wait to see come to fruition,” said Elizabeth Doyle, a member of the Board of Human Services and Community Health. The board was appointed in December 2022 by the Board of Selectmen.

The other members include Dr. Robert Lambe, Richard Panofsky, Brittany Bixenman, Kimberly Ciociola, Rachel Smith, Marie-Juanita DiGioia, and Dr. Bruce Thayer.

The board meets on the third Thursday of every month.

Selectmen Chair Skip Vadnais praised the work of the board, noting they served as a “safety net” for the entire community.

“It’s a very rewarding job when you see how many people you can help,” said Selectman George Solas. “It’s a real warm feeling seeing them leave smiling and knowing that they’re going to be okay.”
